How long does nails grow and what does it depend on?

Many girls prefer extended nails because of their reliability and durability. Everything looks natural and neat, besides, you yourself choose the length and shape of the desired nails. There are many methods of the procedure, so every girl is in front of a serious choice. The most exciting moment is considered the duration of the procedure, because most often people plan their affairs and do not want to be late somewhere because of incorrectly calculated time. Before going to a specialist it is worth exploring all the nuances.

Many factors influence how much time you spend in the cabin.

The most basic:

• extension technology;
• professional skills;
• design complexity;
• features of nail plates and skin of hands, their condition;
• hygienic manicure, appearance;
• customer preferences.

All factors are related. At the first session, a professional will assess the condition of the nail plates and will offer you a choice of several methods of extension. Techniques differ in complexity and therefore take different time. The type of hygienic manicure (edged, hardware or combined) also depends on the condition of the nails. Each species takes a different amount of time.

Design plays a big role. If you choose a monochromatic coating, the master will do everything quickly. If you want an intricate pattern or a lot of decorative elements, you will need more time.

The use of tips is very popular. The method is quite simple, has a low cost. If you want to give your hands a well-groomed appearance, then it is worth considering it in more detail. This extension technology is used if the nail does not have a free edge.

Tips made of special plastic. A manicure master attaches them to the nail plates with the help of a special adhesive. To smooth the edge between the nail and tips, use a buff for grinding. The procedure of such extension lasts about 3 hours.

A more modern way of building involves the use of forms. Tips covers the entire nail and is part of the extended nail, and the form has a “window” under the natural nail and is used to form the free edge. It has a marking with millimeters so that the master can calculate the width and length of the nail. The form is removed by uselessness.

The main advantage of this extension is that nails look thinner and more natural. The cost of the procedure is higher than when using tips. Such nail extension is time consuming and takes about 3 hours. Forms can be made of various materials. For convenience, they are divided into types according to the intended form of the future nail.

Professionals love to work with quality materials. For nails are often used gel (UV, LED or bio-gel). The material is applied to the nail and remains liquid until polymerization in the ultraviolet or LED lamp. The gel is distinguished by its elasticity and thick texture, which allows the master to form an artificial nail plate.

A more complex two-phase extension involves the use of a modeling tool and a gel for bonding (fixing). The latter is intended to give the artificial nail the desired shape. Nail extension by this method lasts 2-2.5 hours.

Three-phase extension can last up to 3 hours. The process itself is quite time consuming: it is necessary to cover the nails with the base, apply a modeling tool and fix everything with a fixative. Before the extension itself, the nail plates are prepared. The master must do a hygienic manicure, which also takes time.

Building up such material does not require the use of an ultraviolet lamp, however, the procedure itself can take up to 3 hours. A special compound is applied to the nails, which combines acrylic powder and liquid (liquid).

For applying the mixture using a brush. First, the instrument is dipped into the solution, and then into acrylic powder. A paste-like drop is formed on the brush. With fast and precise movements, it is transferred onto the nail plate and stretched and shaped. With this build-up speed is important, as the acrylic freezes quickly.

The process of laying out the material may be delayed when using color tools. In this case, the desired design is immediately obtained on the nail. Professionals often build color acrylic to reduce overall procedure time.

Time passes and natural nails grow back, there are places that are not covered with material. In this case, it is time to go to a specialist for correction. The problem of regrown nails is not only in aesthetic form, but also in reliability. There is a shift of the stress zone, the artificial nail begins to break. Correction should be done once every 2-3 weeks.

During the procedure, the size of the nail decreases, the arrangement of the thickening in the stress zone changes. For removal of excess material files and frezer are used. After removing the excesses, the master applies a new layer of material so that the nail looks neat. The duration of the procedure depends on the material and takes 1–2 hours.

Sometimes nails need to be removed to re-build. If acrylic is used, you will need a special liquid. For removal, it is enough to remove the length with a nail file, soak the material and remove it. The whole procedure takes about 40 minutes.

Gel builds up nails more often, it is pleasant to wear it. The removal procedure itself is more time consuming than using other material. The gel is cut using a milling cutter or nail files with different abrasivity. During the procedure, you need to take breaks, otherwise the material will heat up and cause significant discomfort. The procedure takes about 1-1.5 hours.

Creating a maniera takes some time. How to cut it for nails, see the video below.
